He credited his years at UP with giving him a solid moral foundation that guided his steadfast belief in the principles of equitable and fair distribution of wealth.

We are inviting artists, activists, and social justice advocates to join use in Oregon's capital city of Salem on March 10, 2018. Dr. A. Breeze Harper, founder of Sistah Vegan, and chef-artist Salimatu Amabebe will join us.
